What the college says

If we are to make informed choices in elections and our daily lives, we need to understand politics. If you want to look behind the façade and find out how things really work, then studying A Level Politics is the way to do it. If you enjoy argument and debate, this is the place to find it. If you aspire to study a humanities subject at university, this subject will equip you with vital skills. If you would like to go into Law, A Level Politics will provide you with a grounding in rights, justice and the legal systems of the UK and EU. If your primary interest is in the sciences, this qualification will provide an excellent contrast, developing skills and knowledge which will be relevant to you throughout life.
